Blues,Blues,Blues .... Blue Monday

It's been awhile now since I've participated in Blue Monday festivities and I've really missed it. Tonight,I'm getting a faster start so as not to be late and miss all the goings on. There are always so many things to see, so many gorgeous blues..and so many sweet people participating in Blue Monday....and then there is the one who always comes to mind when I see a gorgeous blue, and that's our own sweet Sally. Our sweet hostess of blue, with that gorgeous smile and the twinkle shining from her eyes..she is a vision in blueness. Thank you Sally, for hosting us all..it's always such a pleasure to participate here and I've missed it so. For everyone to see all the pretty blues, drop by
Smiling Sally and see all the pretty participants.

Isn't this pretty? I know back "back in the day" people used match holders..does anyone use them still? This one is just so pretty..
Ahhhh, these pretties. Aren't they gorgeous?? Now someone tell me..are they sake cups or egg cups?? No matter which they are, I wish they were mine.
Isn't this a pretty napkin holder...Does anyone still use them anymore??? I do so love these blues.
Again.... probably my favorite thing to search for in my treasure hunts in an antique store.. I love, love, love egg cups , and in my area, they are very hard to find. Perhaps,I just haven't stumbled into the right place yet.
Sweet..pretty canisters, Can one ever have too much sweet blues ???

  3. You truly have some wonderful blues for today. Some people still use match and napkin holders but they do not look like this. I still like some of the holder version of things.

  4. OH, I'm jumping in my chair. You have so many blue willow pieces shown! A match holder and canister set! My regular dishes are blue willow and I've never, repeat, never seen these pieces! Oh, so beautiful, thanks for sharing, CC.

  5. Wow, CC! I love these blue pieces, but particuarly that match safe and the egg cups! SO very wonderful. Those are some blues that a magpie just might take a "shine" to so you better lock them up tight. ;-)

    Happy Blue Monday...

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  15. I really love the blue china photos you chose to share with us today. I think those are egg cups. They look a bit too large for saki. Folks who use wood stoves still keep match holders and I have seen, but no longer use, napkin holders. It's the quality that sets your items apart from those in common use. I hope you are having a wonderful Blue Monday.

  17. Hi, CC ... What a beautiful collection of blue and white pieces. It would be difficult to pick just one as my favorite, but I think it would have to be the match holder.

    Hope to see you next week, too!

  18. Hello CC, such pretty blues to share. I love all the blue china and pottery, but I do not have it in my home. A bit of it in the guest room. I have to be very inventive to find blue for Sally's event. I try hard though because I enjoy everyone's blues so much. Egg cups are not that easy to find. There are so many collectors.

    Have a wonderful day.

    Hugs, Jeanne

  21. I love the egg cups. So very pretty!

    Thanks for taking time to comment on my "baby blues." These are the Baby Grands. The little blond guy belongs to our oldest son and looks just like he did. And the little olive skinned baby belongs to our youngest son, and he looked just like that at that age. So fun watching our boys raise their boys!!

    Blessings.

  25. What lovely blues you've found to share ... they remind me of things my mother loved and used in our home. Thanks for sharing your lovely photographs and for dropping by Small Reflections. I can hardly believe it, but I'm celebrating my 2nd Blogoversary there now ;--)
